Well, with the injury, at the end of the season Romo can claim “It wasn’t my fault.” Boyfans must feel so betrayed: tremendous talent and “The Show” in “The House” this year. ---

> [@It\_s\_Not\_Rocket\_Surgery](#): > > Why? It wasn’t an illegal hit. Romo just landed badly. That wasn’t my point, I just want to see the NFC East and the NFC as a whole as muddled as possible and the Giants losing a divisional road game they shouldn’t does the trick. And if Dallas hadn’t been so poorly coached it’s still be a possibility. ---

> [@Diogenes\_the\_Cynic](#): > > Of course not. I’m saying Favre threw gift interceptions to them. The Vikings beat themselves. The Packers had nothing to do with it. If Rodgers hadn’t thrown two interceptions in the red zone the Packers would have won going away, the Packers made it needlessly close. At least that is what DtC logic would suggest. ---

The Vikings forced those intercetions. 😉 Anyway, perhaps it was a little ham handed, but I was trying to parody Packer fans a little bit, who a couple of weeks ago kept saying that the Bears had done nothing to beat them, and they only lost because of their own mistakes and penalties. ---
